rene123 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) I just ate 3 ripe mangos and they were SOOOO good. But, I might pay for it later by visiting the toilet more often. I LOVE Thai mangos. They are like cream from the skin to the stone, but they have to be ripe. Thais like their sour, green mangos, but I haven't acquired a taste for that yet. Unfortunately, mangos go from ripe to mush in short order. The moment those tiny black spots start to spread is the time to peel and slice them up. If you wait a couple days too long the flesh goes black with bruising. I had 3 ripe mangos and decided to cut up all three at the same time. I was only going to nibble a bit and put the remainder in the fridge... but, one bite led to another and pretty soon I just ate the whole bowl full... total debauchery.

geriatrickid Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 didn't you mean to share this on facebook? Which part? The gluttony or the prediction of toilet time? I was thinking it was an Instagram moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkles Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Many varieties of mangoes here, might take you a while to find your favourite.Maybe do a taste test at the supermarkets where they print the name on the wrap and then buy at the markets !

TommoPhysicist Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 After a while you will get sick of Yellow Mangoes and switch to Green only ....... like the rest of us. Yellow is for tourists, green is for ex-pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Prefer the yellow ones if still a little sour. If soft & sweet, compost them. Green ones tasty, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Green crunchy ones with the dark red spicy gunky syrupy dip. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 If you we4r4e a Christian you would need to go to confession. Not so much for eating thart many but for not sharing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene123 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 didn't you mean to share this on facebook? It was kind of like facebook, wasn't it. I just happen to enjoy mangos (addicted ?), and the ones we get in Canada are all from Mexico with the pink skin. They are okay until you try the ones from Thailand. And, thank you, Sparkles for telling me there are different varieties here. I didn't know that, but with my luck the names will all be printed in Thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure ain't Christian although I was raised that way. In fact, after studying history, I now hate all religions equally. But, I'll share anything I have with anybody... and preferably those in need.

I thought about that when I posted it, but Chiang Mai seems one of the last provinces to have ripe mangos avaiable. I looked for them last November and December and hardly found any that were ripe, but lots of green ones. Down in the southern provinces they've had ripe mangos for ages. The mods can move this over if they see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
